Chapter 49

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye asked, "Does your family run a roast duck shop?"

Ever since leaving the state-run restaurant, this fellow had been talking nonstop about eating roast duck.

Bai Lu thought, "No, but my eldest brother is a master at making roast duck; I'll have him make some fresh for you right now!"

"Since we're officially dating now, you must come with me to meet the family."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Bai Lu could critique dishes; it turned out her family had a skilled cook.

In that case, he would go and see.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye rode the bicycle, with a young girl seated on the rear rack.

After an hour, they finally arrived at a courtyard near the suburbs.

Unlike the Sihe Academy at Red Star Rolling Mill, this was a standalone compound with its own gate.

It was quite dilapidated.

But its virtue lay in its tranquility.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye liked such courtyards very much; he intended to buy one for himself in the future.

Bai Lu jumped off the bicycle first, flying inside like a little bird.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back!"

"Mom, I've brought my boyfriend home!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, pushing the bicycle: ...

What a fine voice.

It would be a pity if she didn't become a broadcaster.

When he entered the courtyard and saw the people at the entrance, he was momentarily stunned.

No wonder Bai Lu seemed to fear neither heaven nor earth; it turned out she had three older brothers!

She was the only daughter in the family.

One could tell from her name alone that she must be the family's cherished treasure.

Bai Lu pulled Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye forward to make introductions: "This is my boyfriend, his name is Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye."

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, these are my brothers: Eldest Brother Bai Jiancheng, Second Brother Bai Jianshe, and Third Brother Bai Bai Bai Jianbang."

"This is my mother, Sun Meili."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

The gazes of these three future brothers-in-law and his future mother-in-law were not quite right.

They did not look as though they were viewing a prospective son-in-law or brother-in-law, but rather as if looking at a trafficker who had abducted a woman.

However, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye felt no fear and introduced his situation openly and honestly.

He had spoken only one sentence when the entire group opposite became displeased.

Bai Jiancheng erupted in anger: "You've been divorced?"

Bai Jianshe waved his hands repeatedly: "Say no more, this won't do!"

Bai Bai Bai Jianbang rolled his eyes: "Our family's cabbage has been dug up by a pig!"

Sun Meili's expression also soured, her brows knitting together.

Bai Lu hugged Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's arm, craned her neck, and said proudly, "Brothers, Mom, this is a new society now; you cannot judge people like this."

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye is the mess hall squad leader at Red Star Rolling Mill!"

"He is currently a Grade Seven Chef!"

"In the future, he will become a Special-Grade Chef!"

"Moreover, he owns three rooms in the Sihe Academy, which he has renovated himself."

"He is also very wealthy; in the future, he will become the mess hall director and a ten-thousand-yuan household!"

"Let me tell you, this is the man I chose myself!"

"As for me, I will marry no one but him!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye looked at Bai Lu, feeling somewhat moved.

This petite young girl only reached his chest.

Yet this small frame concealed tremendous energy!

Most importantly, her taste was excellent!

This wife seemed quite good.

Upon learning Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's situation, the expressions of Bai Lu's three brothers softened considerably.

The eldest, Bai Jiancheng, said, "So you are a Grade Seven Chef; in that case, let us compete."

The second, Bai Jianshe, said, "If you are a cook, you should be able to drink; let us compete in that as well!"

The third, Bai Bai Bai Jianbang, said, "Can a cook read? Do you know how to speak English?"

034. Two Bottles of Moutai, Battling Three Future Brothers-in-Law

Mother Bai said nothing, pulling Bai Lu and turning to go inside.

But just before leaving, she gave Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye a look encouraging him to work hard.

Good heavens.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye understood.

The saying that a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law with increasing satisfaction was no exaggeration.

He parked the bicycle, looked at his three future brothers-in-law, and said, "Then let us compete."

"I am not afraid."

For the next hour, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye prepared four dishes and one soup.

Grilled fish, braised pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with chives, duck blood and vermicelli soup, white rice, and steamed wheat buns.

These were all items he had brought with him earlier.

It was a small cloth bag, and he hadn't told Bai Lu what was inside.

Coming to his future mother-in-law's home for the first Third Third Third Third Time, he couldn't possibly arrive empty-handed.

Taking good things out of his spatial storage and placing them in the bag beforehand had worked out perfectly.

Bai Jiansheng had only made one roasted duck,

while Bai Jianshe had gone out to buy five jin of bulk white liquor.

Bai Bai Bai Jianbang was still studying his English textbook; he was currently a university student.

Seeing the splendid spread on the table, the entire Bai family was stunned.

Bai Lu couldn't help but clap her hands: "Did you all see that?"

"I told you long ago, I have a keen eye for people!"

She sat down directly, tore a duck leg from the roasted duck prepared by Bai Jiansheng, and placed it in Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's bowl.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, taste my eldest brother's craftsmanship!"

"Mom, brothers, sit down and eat."

"My partner's skills aren't just good to look at; the taste is flawless too!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

No wonder she was the family's favorite.

In ordinary families, girls were considered a financial burden and were rarely welcomed warmly in their natal homes.

In some households, girls weren't even allowed to sit at the table to eat.

For someone like Bai Lu to sit down and eat beforehand was truly a rare occurrence.

The Bai family all sat down to eat.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye introduced the dishes he had made to everyone: "This grilled fish, I ate it at home a few days ago myself."

"But back then, I felt the flavor wasn't quite right; today's version, I feel, is just passable."

"I also have two bottles of Moutai liquor here; I came in a hurry, so let's make do with this for now."

"This duck blood and vermicelli soup is a famous dish from your southern region; I merely learned how to make it."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye continued his introductions.

But the Bai family had already gone wild eating.
